Our Partners

Founded in 2001, NAFI is our “eyes, ears and feet on the ground” in Cameroon. They are a non-profit, non-governmental organization whose focus is providing public health services for local people affected by HIV, including orphans and vulnerable children. They are located in Ndop, in the northwest region of Cameroon.

Partnering with other organizations, NAFI works to:

• Raise awareness of HIV and AIDS through presentations at local schools, social clubs and community organizations;
• Encourage and support better maternal and child health through training programs on managing preventable diseases such as malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia, HIV and AIDS;
• Advocate for the health rights of the disadvantaged, including AIDS/HIV orphans and vulnerable children, and people who are handicapped, incarcerated or exploited.

Our relationship with NAFI was formed in 2006. Since that time they have acted as administrator of our efforts in the region by: hiring and supervising the teachers whose salaries we provide; identifying and assessing the children who most need our support and administering the financial support we make available for their education; and coordinating the events and meetings during our visits to Cameroon.

Selwyn Avenue Presbyterian Church dedicates 20% of its annual budget to mission work, in its local community as well as across the U.S and beyond its borders. Through a financial donation from SAPC, A Place of Hope was able to build a school building in the village of Bambalang. Construction on the building, which houses two classrooms and two administrative offices, began in February 2010. A dedication ceremony was held in March, during A Place of Hope’s visit to the village.

Other support provided by the members of Selwyn include a backpack drive, financial contributions towards teachers' salaries, plus ongoing donations of school supplies, hygienic supplies and children's underwear and pajamas.  

Selwyn continues to support our efforts through the Coins for Cameroon campaign, launched June 6th, 2010.
